Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008Podcast on Robotics and AI
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008Laboratory of Intelligent Systems at EPFL Switzerland provides the series Talking Robots.
Here you will find all the big names chattering away on your favourite topic in HRI, Robotics, and AI.
Robots and Theory of Mind
Sunday, April 13th, 2008Hegel and colleagues present (preliminary) results of a neuroimaging study on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) and Theory of Mind (ToM). What they are interested in, is whether the shape of the interacting partner (human, anthropomorphic robot, functional robot, computer) in a Prisoner’s Dilemma Game scenario would have an influence on the measured activity in ToM brain areas (medial prefrontal lobe, anterior cingulate cortex).
Good bye old and crappy cousin girls (what remains is some info on camera-based motion tracking)
Monday, March 24th, 2008This is a better way of doing it, just like I am better at doing it all by now I guess (still need some hope tho … ^^). Anyway, one part of the old site shall be kept, as I really like the look. Credit for processing the background image goes to Aleks.
Basically, it’s three pages with some basic info on camara-based motion tracking. It’s still useful (though some links are dead by now), and can be found here.
Mr. Purse Says
Friday, March 21st, 2008“There are real things, whose characters are entirely independent of our opinions about them; those realities affect our senses according to regular laws, and, though our sensations are as different as our relations to the objects, yet, by taking advantage of the laws of perception, we can ascertain by reasoning how things really are, and any man, if he have sufficient experience and reason enough about it, will be led to the one true conclusion. The new conception involved is that of reality.” (The Fixation of Belief)

Friday, March 21st, 2008“Our external permanency, would not be external, in our sense, if it was restricted in its influence to one individual. It must be something which affects, or might affect, every man.” (The Fixation of Belief)

Friday, March 21st, 2008“his way was to carry his mind into his laboratory, and to make of his alembics and cucurbits instruments of thought, giving a new conception of reasoning as something which was to be done with one’s eyes open, by manipulating real things instead of words and fancies.” (The Fixation of Belief)
oh the sweet unkown …
Thursday, March 20th, 2008Going to a library is even more interesting than going to the park or zoo.
However, between all those people, I rather feel like perceiving an excerpt from nature. Could there be anything wrong about this?
Is there something missing at the outside??
Hello world!
Thursday, March 20th, 2008Did they ever *actually* greet this world thing? I do not think so.
Did I ever? Maybe—but this is a rather complicated question, at least for me. Why? I am not sure, but I am rather confident by now that I can find out, that is why it is so complicated, and then, well, on …
So, what is this world thing?
